Ordering 801a Friday - Questions!!!

dannym2009 · Nov 23, 2017

Ordering an 801a Screw on Friday and have some questions that I can't quite find answers for in my search. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

1. 4.10 TORSEN diff - should i add it? Seems like a no-brainer for $500, but wasn't sure if there were issues or anything like that that come along with it.

2. Graphics - I wan't the hood and bedside graphics, but I can get graphics that looks better IMO and are cheaper from Rappy Graphics. Considering ordering without and adding them right away...

3. Spray-in Bed Liner - I have read that Line-X is better and cheaper, do I leave the option off and have it Line-X'd along with the frame?

4. Wheels - I think I prefer Methods over the OEM beadlocks, so do I order with normal wheels and order Methods on 35" RTs and put them on right away and sell the stockers?

5. Tailgate step - Would I ever use it? Never had the option, really don't think I need it nor do I want a heavier tailgate...

6. Remote Start - I'm planning to add SYNC Connect, so I don't think I need remote start since I will be able to start it off of my phone, but it almost seems like a no-brainer for $195 in that case that I don't have service...

Definitely ordering BLIS w/ 360 degree camera, LED box lighting, mirror spotlights, SYNC Connect

I spent a couple months researching what my needs will be and what options will work best. Ultimately, I think the 802a package is worth every penny, the conditioned seats will make it worth it... trust me.

1: yes, just because.
2: $2000 for some graphics that cost them maybe $2 in parts and labor is not worth it. I just can’t fathom the insane up charge for some stickers, I also think it looks like shot with it.
3: I thought about skipping the factory line-x but if you don’t get it you don’t get the ford logo in the bed and I was always worried line-x would do it wrong or get it somewhere it shouldn’t be, it made me paranoid so I went with the factory liner.
4: stocks, that’s what I did since I will be getting methods as well.
5: it’s a tall truck and the step will change the way you get in and out of the bed, seriously for $400 it’s worth it.
6: yes because if you get the sync connect, then you can get the “fordpass” app and start your truck from anywhere in the world and see fuel levels and other vital info. It’s pretty cool.

Why are you getting an 891a if considering those options it’s literally like less than 2k diff to get the 802a and the graphics are the biggest ripoff going. Tailgate step is very nice and line x will cost more than the ford spray in liner

Torsen/remote start/mirror spots/box lights > standard on Canadian 801

dannym2009 · Nov 23, 2017

I can get the 801a with the options I want for right at $60k, if I go to 802a it will be $65k. I truly don't think I can justify $5k for nice to haves...

I bought a18 screw 801A ,I didn’t want to spend 70k mine was under 60k
My options
4.10 diff
Bed lights
Tailgate step
Twin panel moon roof (the wife wanted it)
Navigation
Remote start
I really like the tailgate step,the 801A doesn’t come with the slow release tailgate
I ordered the parts online for $42 to covert it to slow release ..
What I dont like is the 801A comes with black rubber door handles,side view mirrors and tailgate handle ...802A are painted....
Also the 801A doesn’t come with the embedded modem...
I’m gonna look in having one installed if possible
You can start your truck from your smart phone...
I work in NYC I would like to have my truck warming up when I get off the train in the dead of the winter....

Damn I paid 62,300 for my 802a with tailgate step spray in liner and hard tonneau cover

I went back and forth between the 801a and 802a before I ordered mine.

I went with the 802a. It was worth it to me.

I added Line-X afterwards. I much prefer the Line-X product.
